ABSTRACT The cosmic microwave background (CMB) is a cornerstone for precision cosmology and Canadian experimeters have been involved with the majority of significant results over the last decade. In this whitepaper, highlights from this period are presented along with a summary of our unique capabilities. With the temperature anisotropies accurately characterized out to moderate angular scales (` < 700) the community is focused on (1) small angular scale temperature anisotropy measurements to study the intervening matter through CMB secondaries and (2) the CMB polarization onto which the signature of inflationary gravity waves may be imprinted, allowing us to probe back to a fraction of a second after the big bang. In parallel with this, CMB experimenters are also planning new projects at other wavelengths, continuing the already established tradition (e.g. BLAST and SCUBA2) of using expertise and technology originally developed for mm-wave CMB observations to break new ground elsewhere.

2. CANADIAN ACHIEVEMENTS IN CMB RESEARCH OVER THE LAST DECADE Canadian CMB research obtained interna- tional recognition with the pioneering measure- ment (Gush et al. 1990) of the frequency spectrum by the UBC team using COBRA, a sounding rocket experiment. Though results were just slightly behind the COBE satellite spectrum (Mather et al. 1990), the measurements were a factor of several more precise than COBE’s initial results. The Gush group’s style has been characteristic of the Canadian CMB community: rela- tively small university-based teams involved end-to-end with the experiment, from its initial design conception, its construction, commissioning, deployment, and data analysis. The lion’s share of the work has been accom- Fig. 1.— The Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) under con- plished by graduate students and postdocs who receive struction in Port Coquitllam, B.C.

Analysis Software and Algorithms: Canadian researchers have been key players for the analysis of CMB data and its cosmological interpreta- tion. This leadership role has been exercised for both experiments that have Canadian hardware contributions and those that do not, such as CBI, ACBAR, and Planck. The computing resources at CITA have helped to en- able this role. Foregrounds: The HIA-DRAO has aided CMB research by carrying out the Planck Deep Field Survey to measure foreground emission and by offering a suitable dish and an excellent northern site for a 10 GHz all sky mapping proposal. DRAO’s mandate for supporting University initiatives is crucial to these efforts. 4. HIGHLY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL The experimental CMB field provides second-to-none training opportunities for students and postdocs. The timeframe of a typical CMB experiment provides a unique opportunity and skill-set to students and post- docs. Within the span of a typical PhD they have the op- portunity to participate in the end-to-end development, commissioning, and analysis of a cutting edge scientific Fig. 4.— The UBC Multi Channel Electronics are shown on the instrument. This training environment is one of the most BICEP2 experiment at the South Pole in Feb 2010. This system will be flown on the SPIDER balloon borne polarimeter in 2011 and important contributions of the lab to Canadian academia is deployed or being deployed on the ACT, ABS, Bicep2, Clover, and industry. Keck, Poincare, Piper, Poincare, Spider, SCUBA2, Z-specII, and The groups involved with instrumentation (Dobbs, Goddard Sofia instruments. Halpern, Netterfield) are presently providing training and field experience to five postdocs, six professional staff (primarily young engineers), eleven graduate stu- dents, and a half dozen undergraduates. We stress the uniqueness of the training these individuals receive and emphasize the importance of their future contributions to the Canadian academic, industrial, and even military scenes. In addition there are several postdocs, research associates, graduates students and undergrads working on data analysis projects with the theory-background members of the community (Bond, Holder, Scott). 5.
